Mr. Fielding Parker Glass

Having finished his work and kept the faith, Mr. Fielding Parker Glass, a highly esteemed and honorable resident of the Eldorado neighborhood, though for the past year residing with his daughter, Mrs. Harry Neitzert, entered into his heavenly rest at 5 o'clock Saturday March 15, 1930.

Mr. Glass first saw the light of day Sept. 15, 1850. His place of birth was on a farm in Johnson county, Mo., about ten miles north of Windsor.

It will be interesting to know that the home place where Mr. Glass was born, was bought from the government by his father, Uncle Billie Glass, for the small sum of 25c per acre, with the exception of 40 acres for which he paid the sum of $5.

Mr. Glass did not enjoy many care-free years, for at the tender age of 15 he entered the services in the Civil War.

He was married to Miss Loretta Golden March 26, 1874. Together they builded a good home and reared an interesting family of eight boys and girls all of whom are living with the exception of one. The names of the children and places of residence are:

Ora Glass, Los Angeles, Calif.;
Joe Glass, Cottage Grove, Ore.;
Roy Glass, Hollywood, Calif.;
Ernest Glass, Oakland, California;
Noah Glass, Cottage Grove, Ore.;
Mrs. Harry Neitzert, Windsor, Mo.;
Mrs. Harry Huston, Oakland, Calif.;
Stone Glass died in Mapton, Wash., Feb 4, 1920.
He is also survived by one brother, John Glass of Higginsville, Mo.

Mr. Glass was converted and united with the Baptist church at the age of 50 years.

In the fall of 1926 he and Mrs. Glass went West for a visit with their children. An irreparable loss and sadness came into his life during this visit in the death of his faithful wife, March 9, 1928, at Eugene, Ore.

Mr. Glass has noted the strides of great invention along all lines of endeavor and in mode of travel has lived to see the ox wagon supplanted by giant transcontinental air lines.

The afterglow of a good, well spent life should be a great inspiration to his children and others to emulate his life in doing the best they can in adverse as well as happy situations, knowing there are always briers among the roses and stones all along the journey through life.

The funeral was conducted at the Methodist church Friday afternoon by Rev. J. S. Denton of Columbia and interment was made at Laurel Oak Cemetery.

--The Windsor Review (Windsor, Missouri), 27 Mar 1930, Thu, p. 1

His Missouri Death Certificate states his place of death to be Jefferson Twp., Johnson County, Missouri but that his general residence was "Windsor, Mo, R. F. D." His parents were William Glass and Brunetta Wollf Glass (both born in Kentucky).
